The next leg of our journey took us east across Italy. Lunch was in Lago da Garda, Italy's largest lake. It was a great little vacation town filled with locals escaping the heat.
From there we drove to Verona, made famous by Shakespear's Romeo and Juliette. The city has embraced this and dedicated an appropriately aged house and balcony as Juliette's. Aside from the play to tourism, Verona was a very pretty city with a beautiful old square.
From there we drove to our apartment. It was a restored Italian villa, complete with full wall murals, from the 1600s.
The next day we woke up early and drove to Venice for a boat tour. The city was beyond our expectations and we stayed on to walk around after our tour ended.
The next day we took the Italian sports car tour. Starting with a trip to Ferrari. We chose the museum in Modena, where the original offices of Ferrari were.
Then on to Lamborghini. A smaller museum but the kids were impressed by the cars and the movies they have been featured in.
To round it all off, dinner of pasta bolognaise in Bologna.
